Man charged in weekend assault, burglary

Sheriff's deputies charged a 31-year-old Hendersonville man with first degree burglary, injury to real property and assault on a female after responding to a burglary in progress on Saturday.

At approximately 11:20 p.m. on Saturday, Sept., 20, officers from the Henderson County Sheriff's Office responded to a residence on Jeter Mountain Road where a burglary in progress was reported. When officers arrived at the residence they found the door frame and glass door broken leading into the residence. The homeowner had been assaulted by a suspect who had broken into the residence looking to steal money. The resident was able to call 911 and was not severely injured. The suspect left the home prior to the officer's arrival, however, officers were able to collect evidence at the scene of the crime.
Approximately two hours later officers responded to a disturbance a short distance away from the original burglary call. At that location, officers arrested and charged Samuel Allen Taylor, 31, of 215 DuPont Estate Drive, with the burglary and other charges. Officers were able to link him to the original burglary on Jeter Mountain Road. Taylor was jailed under a $24,500 bond.
